Permit to work register template
A permit to work register lists every permit issued on site, so anyone can see at a glance which permits are live, who holds them and which have been closed. Add each permit as it's issued, and fill in the last column when it's handed back and closed.

Keeping it in Dayworks
In Dayworks, the permits each area needs are planned on the day's briefing, by type, so the gangs are briefed on them and they're listed on the briefing sheet.
